Genius designer × gang heiress × military-political golden boy; devoted to each other × equally powerful × everyone’s favorite
She is a 22-year-old genius who returned from overseas with a master’s degree. On one side, she is the elegant, dazzling founder of a jewelry brand, stunning the imperial capital as “Qike Kaili.” On the other, she is the secret strategist behind the scenes, carrying a blood-soaked secret, with sharpness and resolve hidden beneath her skirts. Born frail and never far from her medicine, she can nevertheless unleash her full strength for ten minutes. After twice risking her life to save others, she suffered severe hand injuries that refuse to heal. Now she endures the pain of rehabilitation while using her brand’s expansion north as cover to quietly lay the groundwork for revenge and clear her name. Su Ye and Su Chang stay by her side to keep her safe. The true and impostor heiresses are each other’s trump cards, in sync as if they were one person.
He is Shen Yan, a 26-year-old rising star in the military and political worlds, an heir among heirs. He falls for her at their first meeting and is smitten at first sight. He gives her a luxury car to keep her safe on the road, sends her uncut gemstones to support her business, and searches everywhere for rare medicinal herbs to restore her frail health. He even designs a brooch for her by hand, “Mingdi”: an arrow as a sign of devotion, with her as the only place he calls home. But the more ardently he loves her, the more cruelly she pushes him away. Burdened with secrets and facing danger at every turn, she can’t let him get involved.
She moves between elegance and ruthlessness, pulled between passionate love and distance. She shines in public, but suffers in private. She pushes away the person she loves while everyone around her quietly protects her. As her identity nears exposure and danger surges, the blade hidden beneath her skirts is finally about to be drawn.
Her stubbornness is finally soothed by his tenderness, and she finally claims his devotion as her own. After the most heartrending romance comes nothing but scorching, tender love. This is a story of two people saving each other across the boundary between life and death, both burdened with secrets. Once it begins, neither can ever let go.
